I also don't think Frank would want to coach Ashley because there isn't much upside for her. She is about as good as she is going to get at this point; she can perform clean SPs and clean 6 triple LPs consistently (relative to other skaters). She is not going to improve enough to get Yuna or Carolina PCS, and she isn't going to get a consistent 3/3. I doubt Frank would want to be at the helm when she likely loses her national title to Gracie next year.

How about Christina Fassi? She doesn't seem to mind being a second banana. If Ashley plans on continuing after Sochi, I don't see why she just doesn't go ahead and get her coaching situation settled now and for the future.

Maybe Sarah Hughes coach, Robin Wagner. Robin seems like a pleasant person to travel with and be supportive without being overbearing. She also does choreography, which may help Ashley develop as an artist. Unlike Nichol & Wilson, Robin may be able to focus on Ashley the entire year as an assistant coach/choreographer.
